Less sodium, more potassium, or both: population-wide strategies to prevent hypertension.
Hypertension is among the most prevalent medical conditions globally and a major contributor to chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and death. Prevention through nonpharmacological, population-level interventions is critically needed to halt this worldwide epidemic. However, there are ongoing disagreements as to where public policy efforts should focus. Recently the Salt Substitute and Stroke Study demonstrated the efficacy of substituting table salt with potassium salt to reduce the risk of stroke, major cardiovascular events, and death. However, this sparked debate over whether sodium or potassium should be prioritized in countries where table salt substitution was less feasible. In this commentary, we summarize arguments in favor of either strategy: reduced sodium or increased potassium intake. Moreover, we discuss evidence and policy approaches related to either or combined approaches relevant to cultural context. Ultimately, there is an urgent need for policies that both reduce sodium and increase potassium intake; however, identifying a strategy that fits cultural context will be key to improve population-wide blood pressures.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Physiology - Renal Physiology publishes original manuscripts on timely topics in both basic science and clinical research. Published articles address a broad range of subjects relating to the kidney and urinary tract, and may involve human or animal models, individual cell types, and isolated membrane systems. Also covered are the pathophysiological basis of renal disease processes, regulation of body fluids, and clinical research that provides mechanistic insights. Studies of renal function may be conducted using a wide range of approaches, such as biochemistry, immunology, genetics, mathematical modeling, molecular biology, as well as physiological and clinical methodologies.
